Today on Lake Effect, we’ll learn how Take Root Milwaukee is helping non-native English speakers buy their first homes. Then, we’ll look at a project that brought elders and artists together during a time of isolation. We’ll get some tips on how to keep your pets safe in the summer heat. We’ll hear an essay about how difficult it is to safely get rid of a gun. Plus, we’ll speak with a Milwaukee librarian about her summer book recommendation.
